Mische lost everything when she was forcibly turned into a vampire—her home, her humanity, and the love of the sun god she had devoted her life to. Now, sentenced to death for slaying the vampire prince who turned her, redemption feels impossible.

Rescued by Asar, the scarred bastard prince of the House of Shadow, she's thrust into a fate worse than death: a perilous journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself. But in a secret encounter, her sun god offers her a chance at salvation—if she betrays Asar and kills the very god they're sent to revive.

Together, Mische and Asar navigate treacherous paths, battle relentless beasts, and confront vengeful ghosts from their pasts. Yet, the most dangerous challenge is the forbidden attraction simmering between them, a bond that could provoke the wrath of the gods.

As the underworld closes in and her betrayal looms, Mische faces an impossible choice. Will she seek the redemption of the sun or embrace the damnation of the darkness?
